Bangalore:Royal Challengers Bangalore have quite a simple task at hand when they take on Kings XI Punjab in the IPL clash at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on Tuesday.  After the  defeat  against  Kolkata Knight Riders  in Ranchi, Bangalore are now left with no option but to win the remaining two games – against Punjab and Chennai Super Kings – at home if they fancy their chances of qualifying. After six wins in as many games at home, Bangalore embarked on a riotous journey, winning just two of eight games.

At  present  with  16 points from 14 games  seems to  to extend their dominance at home ,  where  as    With 10 points from 13 matches, Punjab are coming into the game after being outplayed by Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
 
At   the  top  of  the   order  cheteshwar  pujara  has  been  well   appreciated.   The over- dependence  on  chris  gayle, virat kohli  and  de  Villiers  have   made  their  position  shaky. But  these three openers  have  struggled on slow  pitches like the one in Ranchi, where their stroke-making   ability   has been  underseized.

Even  the  bowlers like  Ravi Rampaul, Vinay Kumar, Murali Kartik and Jaydev Unadkat, have failed to fire in  harmony   and that has resulted in  their  few defeats.

On  the   Punjab  side Adam Gilchrist, the captain, has failed to fire this season, things could look different for a team  if he does get his act together. David Miller,  has   added a new  facet  to their batting  as  a  superb finisher . In the  bowling  field  Punjab  have  an   bouncy  and imaginative quick bowling unit  like Praveen Kumar, Harmeet Singh and Sandeep Sharma. In Mohali on May 6, Miller single-handedly led Punjab to victory with his unbeaten 38-ball 101. Thus  Bangalore would look to  retaliate  the loss.
